TreeFam is a database composed of phylogenetic trees inferred from animal genomes. It provides orthology/parology predictions as well the evolutionary history of genes.
(see the BRCA2 gene family page as an example).
Learn about how TreeFam builds families, alignments, and trees and how families defined in TreeFam.
TreeFam families
There are many ways you can link to TreeFam data. Learn how you can link to e.g. our gene families.
Gene tree widget
You can add our gene tree widget to your website: e.g. simply point an iframe to our trees using a TreeFam family ID or a sequence identifier.
Data download
Download all our data: e.g. alignments, hmms, trees, pairwise orthologs, external references and more.
API Programmatically fetch data through our API and see a list of example scripts in our github repository. Use treefamscan to score your sequences against TreeFam hmms.
